Note: This is an informal English translation provided for convenience. The German version is the legally binding one. This notice coversthis website only — the privacy policy for the app(account, saved forests, photos, backend) is here.

1. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
Dennis Schäfer, Am Sonnenhang 2 b, 76846 Hauenstein, Germany, email: kontakt@waldlotse.de.

2. Principle: minimal processing

This website is a static information page. We use no cookies, use no tracking, and embedno third-party content (e.g. no external fonts, no maps, no analytics services). No user profiles are created.

3. Hosting and server log files

This website is served via Cloudflare Pages(Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA; represented in the EU by Cloudflare Germany GmbH, Munich). Cloudflare operates a global content delivery network, so access data may be processed on servers inside and outside the EU — including in the USA.

When the website is accessed, technically necessary access data (server log files) is processed, including: the IP address of the requesting device, date and time of access, page accessed, amount of data transferred, referrer URL, and browser/system identifier. This data is required to provide the website securely and reliably.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in technically error-free and secure operation). A data processing agreement is in place with Cloudflare; any transfer to third countries is safeguarded by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 28, Art. 46 GDPR).

4. Contacting us

If you contact us by email, we process your details to handle the request (Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR). The data is deleted once it is no longer required and no statutory retention obligations apply.

If you sign up to be notified of the app launch, we process your email address along with the time and version of your consent. This information is used solely to notify you by email once Waldlotse is available on the App Store or Google Play. No general newsletter is sent.

The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw it at any time by emailingkontakt@waldlotse.de. Waitlist data is stored in a database at Cloudflare and deleted no later than three months after the availability notice is sent, or sooner upon withdrawal.

  • Access to data stored about you (Art. 15 GDPR)
